French Home Laguiole Connoisseur Steak Knives

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Because the handles are made from natural deer horn, the heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can cause the material to crack or warp over time.

Deer horn provides a distinct, naturally textured grip that feels more tactile and secure in the hand than smooth wood or synthetic materials. Since it is a natural product, each handle will have its own unique shape and grain pattern.

The stainless steel blades are rust-resistant and durable, but you should dry them immediately after washing to maintain their finish. Because they feature a straight edge, you can keep them sharp using a standard honing steel or sharpening stone as needed.

Full tang means the metal of the blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife won't snap or loosen at the bolster during heavy use.

While they are elegant enough for formal dinner parties, their robust construction makes them perfectly capable of handling everyday steak dinners. The wood box is included to help you protect the blades and keep them organized when they aren't in use.
